The countdown to the <\/em>2026 World Cup<\/em><\/a> is on! Each day ahead of the tournament\u2019s return to North America, Yahoo Sports will highlight an insight or moment that showcases just how grand the world\u2019s biggest sporting spectacle has become \u2014 even beyond the expanded field of this year\u2019s global event.<\/em><\/p>\n

Penalty kick saves are the peak of good goalkeeping. To get a denial on a near-guaranteed goal involves incredible reflexes, a locked-in mental game, and perhaps a little bit of luck.<\/p>\n

Most keepers don\u2019t have their PK saving skills tested until a game reaches a penalty shootout, which is a relatively common occurrence in the high-stakes World Cup tournament. But when a referee points to the spot in the middle of a game, the goalie must be ready.<\/p>\n

There are a number of keepers who have successfully blocked one non-shootout penalty kick during a World Cup game. But only three goalies have done it twice in one tournament, with Poland\u2019s Jan Tomaszewski and Wojciech Szcz\u0119sny, and the United States\u2019 Brad Friedel making up the only members of that club.<\/p>\n

\n

Jan Tomaszewski (1974)<\/h3>\n

In his first World Cup as Poland\u2019s starting goalkeeper, Tomaszewski became the first keeper to save two (non-shootout) penalties in one World Cup tournament. In the second group stage (this was back when the World Cup had a very different format), Tomaszewski came up big with a penalty save against Sweden, before doing the same against West Germany, the eventual champions, two games later.<\/p>\n

Tomaszewski helped lead Poland to a third-place finish that year, and set a new precedent for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Brad Friedel (2002)<\/h3>\n

Friedel took on the mantle of starting goalkeeper for the United States men\u2019s national team in 2002, holding down the goal as the USMNT ended in the quarterfinals. In the group stage, Friedel picked up two penalty saves: one against South Korea, and another against Poland.<\/p>\n

For the South Korean attempt, Friedel\u2019s save against the post, and the subsequent save on the rebound, helped hold the host country to a 1-1 draw; that draw eventually secured the USMNT\u2019s second-place finish in the group to advance to the knockout stage.<\/p>\n

The Poland save didn\u2019t end up changing the final score \u2014 the U.S. lost 3-1 after conceding two goals in the first five minutes \u2014 but it did secure Friedel\u2019s reputation as a brick wall keeper.<\/p>\n

Wojciech Szcz\u0119sny (2022)<\/h3>\n

The veteran Polish goalkeeper became the most recent player (and the second from Poland) to achieve the feat in Qatar. His first penalty save was a stunner, with Szcz\u0119sny getting his hands on a shot from Saudi Arabia\u2019s Salem Aldawsari and then blocking a rebound shot from Mohammed Alburayk.<\/p>\n

Four days later, Szcz\u0119sny did it again, this time getting the PK save on Argentina\u2019s Lionel Messi with a spectacular dive and an outstretched left hand. Argentina went on to win 2-0, but it didn\u2019t matter: Szcz\u0119sny denying Messi will forever live in FIFA history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
